WIWW - red chevron



It's opinion time - - I have a Red Chevron Skirt I made (using a red stripe fabric - and then sewing it slanted to make the chevron) but I'm never sure how to "style" it.  Here's how I wore it this Sunday - with a denim shirt (after seeing a denim shirt and chevron skirt combo on a style blog) - -
I thought it was pretty good - - here's some other ways I've worn it in the past....
The first go-around - with bright turquoise and a cardigan:
Then the gray version - - I just wasn't sold on the tights with open toes though...
Then I went all patriotic and wore it for the 4th of July with a navy blue:

So, let's see them all side by side....
Thoughts??  Obviously I lean towards my one-and-only red pair of shoes - should I mix that up?  Other color suggestions or ways I can wear it?  Have a favorite from above?  Notice I'm growing my hair out?.....

And random, also this Sunday, I put makeup on my eyebrows for the first time ever - I think I like it! (just ignore the crows feet....)  it's all because I saw this "brow zing" thing in an instagram picture and one thing led to another and after some youtube videos I knew I needed to try it (and ordered it cheaper on ebay).
See, I really use products that people post about.  This from Instagram, gel eyeliner and my topstyler clamps via reader comments on facebook, my curling wand because I read it on a blog - I could go on and on.  I'm very easily influenced.  

And back to that point, let's here those thoughts/ideas on the red chevron skirt outfits.

  1. I'd definitely stick with the Fourth of July look. Really like the look of your locks in the last photo especially. :-)

  2. Such a pretty skirt!
    I like how you styled it in the second photo down best.
    The classic in me might do a black turtleneck, black tights and shoes with lots of gold jewelry. A million options.

  4. I think the denim one looks the best. Love the skirt though.

  5. ACtually I think they all look great! But I especially like the turquoise with white cardigan. My least favorite is probably the navy blue short sleeved shirt, but it still looks good. I wish I had that good of a figure because my clothes would all probably look better if I were in better shape. :)

  6. It looks great with the denim! I like it with the gray too, but not with those tights. Love your curly wand hair style, looking good!! :)

  10. The turquoise and the fourth of July looks are my favorite...for winter you could pair it with a black turle neck, black tights and maybe a wide red patent leather belt...either way the skirt is really cute!

  12. I do love that skirt! I love it best with the turquoise and the navy shirts. Bet this would look great with a red sweater added, too.

  17. Love that skirt and how versatile it is. I definitely agree on skipping the tights with the open toed shoes.
    I think my favorites are the turquoise top and navy top combinations.

  18. i love them all...that skirt is my favorite!

  19. I really like both the pictures where the belt is part way down on the skirt - looks very becoming and it breaks up the pattern a bit so it's more eye-catching. Cute, cute skirt though and I also like the curly hair and am way impressed that you've been able to keep bangs!

  20. I like the turquoise T the best, the two colors pop, the 4th of July look is cute too. I don't care for the gray tights but the top is cute. I think you should try it with white shoes and shirt and a red scarf or neclace and let the skirt be the star, which is super cute by the way.

  21. Love the skirt! I really like it paired with the denim shirt for contrast but you could dress it up or down! :)

  22. I think I like the white cardigan outfit the best. I would try another color of shoe though... The red look nice enough, but it's a whole lot of red heavy on the bottom half. Your hair is looking really great long too, FYI! ;)

  23. Beautiful skirt, I'd love to have that in my closet and I think you've styled it perfectly!

  24. I think the skirt speaks for itself.. but I love the 4th of July look and the light blue top looked nice too.. again though red white and blue. I am born on the 4th of July so I tend toward 4th of July stuff all the time.

    As your new look is going... I think you are very becoming... I love that last photo where you are smiling so big and love your brows! You are rocking it! Kathi

  25. I think the 4th of July and turquoise are my favorites. Turquoise comes out on top for me.. though honestly I would shorten the shirt a bit. Maybe 4 inches or so. Try folding it up, tacking and see what you think.

    Your brows look great and you are a simply lovely woman. You have a radiant smile.

  26. That skirt is gorgeous! I love it paired with the chambray shirt. It would probably look cute dressed up with a blazer too!

    Stopping by from WIWW!
